Muggia

Muggia is a genuine piece of Venice at the northernmost tip of the Adriatic. The main piazza is dominated by the Gothic facade of the church of Saints John and Paul which still bears the Lion of St. Mark, symbol of the Republic of Venice. Muggia is the ultimate party city, made famous for its lively Carnival festivities, concerts and special events!

Trieste

Trieste is a city that moves you: marvelous eighteenth-century buildings overlooking the sea, historic cafés serving the best espressos in the world, magnificent castles, and churches of various faiths highlight its past as a capital of religious tolerance. A stroll through the historic city centre, between the hill of San Giusto and the Canal Grande, are a window into a fascinating history. Its lively cultural scene features museums, theatres, and the culinary arts with all of its flavors and scents.

Trieste and its surroundings offer breathtaking views and secrets to be discovered from Muggia to the white cliffs of Duino, Trieste is a succession of magical settings along the Adriatic.

For those wishing to remain in the Gulf of Trieste until October, the Barcolana is a must! The most crowded regatta in the world, with nearly 2.000 sailboats on the same starting line, it has taken place every year on the second Sunday of October since 1968.

Tasting Trieste

Food and wine in Trieste are a melting pot of spices brought in by maritime trade, the pelagic fish of the Adriatic sea, and the livestock, vegetables, and grapes farmed in the harsh, hilly landscape of the Karst surrounding the city. Just a few kilometers to the west, the rocky Karst gives way to the gentle hillsides of the Collio region, which produces Italy’s best wines, and the renowned San Daniele prosciutto. No meal is finished without traditional sweets and a strong cup of coffee.

In Trieste coffee is more than a simple drink: it is an excuse to meet and be together, a tradition. Coffee is also the subject of innovative research at the University of Coffee located here. This center of excellence promotes and disseminates the culture of quality coffee worldwide. The brainchild of illycaffè, the world’s foremost producer of espresso blends. Its history dates back to the 18th century, when Trieste began not only processing and producing coffee, but more importantly, began drinking it in style in its elegant cafés.
